Hi,
I an using OS X Jaguar....I have tried MAIL, Powermail, Entourage, and Eudora...for whatever reason, only Eudora sends a Word document to a PC with the .doc file extension included...this lets the novice PC user open the doc easily....I have sent to AOL mail and to my work Lotus Notes. Even in Entourage, when I have it set to add the file extension, it does not add it???
It seems that if I create a new Word doc and make sure that it is saved with the .doc file, extension..than the other email programs can handle it fine when sent to a PC....is this the "fix"??? or is Eudora truly better at attachments?
Thoughts?
Also..anyone using Quickmail Pro?

With OS X most default file-application associations are based on file suffix (unlike macOS 1-9, which used separate resource information for that association.) So yes, the "fix" is to name word documents with .doc, excel documents with .exl, and so on. Click the "Add suffix" box in the Office Save dialogs. See AppleScript "Add to File Name" in /Library/Scripts/Finder Scripts folder for a way to add the suffix to a batch of existing files.
